Mobb Deep | 20th Anniversary Tour | Double Door | ReCap

So last night I went with Alex and Alex (Lol, really Alex and Alex), to Double Door to see Mobb Deep. The crowd was not familiar but I actually thought it was a good thing. Saw, Jerry Azumah, Jory, Shabazz and other heads. The opening acts that I got to see were not what I expected from a Mobb Deep show. One dude had a old David Terrell jersey, that I guess he borrowed from a fan or friend and took it off in the middle of his set, underneath he had a Miami College jersey that made the crowd boo. When I saw him with the jersey on I was wondering why, but in the end, he show me why, lol. The sound system was way to low for a concert, barely could hear what even Mobb Deep was saying. I felt like I couldn't hear vocals even standing 10 feet away. Having the mic low doesn't help the host interact with the crowd. I've been doing live shows and DJing for quite sometime and I also stay true to being a fan of Hip Hop as well as active in this culture. Not one time did I hear anyone on the mic say, can you hear clear out there, or how do I sound to the crowd. Hopefully I wasn't the only one who felt that way and need my ears checked. The only thing I liked was Mobb Deep played mad classics in there set and that made it worth it in the end. Other than that, promoters should be more selective in their opening acts. If its pay to play, they should at least.
